Sink repair in Ditherington without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
